  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

I think I'll just open this thread tomorrow and trawl through it then.

I'll fill you in now:

There will be a few posters with 'inside info' who won't really go into detail. They won't actually know anything reliable either.

There will be others who will concoct ludicrous trade ideas and believe they we can land someone who is totally out of our reach. The fact Josh Kennedy is on the poll should tell you more than you need to know.

Then dazzle and olisik will have an argument that will fill about 1 and a half pages.

I hope I saved you some time!

The arguments are generally dazzle calling out olisik for being a t wat, so fair play I reckon.

Dazzles not far behind.

just thinking, if we are indeed in the hunt for a big fish like danger, to what extent are we hindered by the fact that we know for certain we are going to need about 99% of our future salary cap in order to keep Hogan from leaving? If this is indeed the case could one argue that we are over-compensating by putting way too many eggs in the Hogan basket? What if he does an injury or ends up being just not that great in the end? Just a thought

Anywhoo, back to the big fish. I hope it's not Danger. With Adelaide matching the offer, we'd have to give up Dazzle's left nut to get him in a trade.

Not really.

Let me start by prefacing this as saying I don't see us as being a chance to get Dangerdive.

But....

If Adelaide match the Cats offer and there is no chance of a deal happening, Danger could wet his pants and decide not to risk ending up in the draft and at Carlscum so rather than take his chances, elects to go with some certainty, signs with us on a 5mill, 5 year deal that has 2 mill in the first year, 750,000 for the next four years. The first years front loading ensures the crows can't match it.

Not going to happen, but thought I would post it to give the dreamers some hope.

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
